Cai's Review of Lincoln

Daniel Day-Lewis IS Abraham Lincoln. Steven Spielberg made me actually understand politics for a little bit, but I couldn't over come the dreary feeling I got by 2 hours of the movie taking place indoors. The quiet talking also made me concentrate throughout the whole movie and it was a relief at the end when they stopped talking for a little bit. 4/5
